How to save feed for raising pigs

Pig raising is one of the most common breeding projects in China. The consumption of pork in our country is very large, so there are still a lot of people who raise pigs. However, when we raise pigs, we still need to invest some costs. Among them, the largest proportion is the feed cost, so many people think about how to reduce the feed cost when raising pigs. So how to save feed for raising pigs? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Variety selection

When raising pigs, it is very important to choose a good breed if you want to save feed effectively. In large-scale breeding, it is best to choose three-way hybrid commercial pigs, such as Landrace pigs, Yorkshire pigs and so on. This kind of pig has a large body, plump forechest and very strong limbs. Pigs will compete with each other for feed, so it can effectively shorten the growth period of pigs. As long as the breed is high-quality and disease-free, then the growth rate of pigs is also very fast. For the first time, we should also pay attention to do a good job of raising pigs in pig sheds. There should not be too many pigs in each pig house to avoid excessive energy consumption.

2. Early castration and amputation of tail

Early castration and cutting off the tail can also achieve the goal of saving feed when raising pigs. Castration is usually done about a week after the piglet is born. Because at this time, the pain system of piglets is not very mature, and its resilience is relatively strong, castration wound healing speed will be very fast. So it is best to do it early. After castration, we should also pay attention to the problem of infection. To do a good job of disinfection, to avoid being infected by bacteria and getting sick. Then the work of cutting off the tail will also be completed this morning, which can not only save feed, but also avoid the injury of biting the tail between piglets.

3. Feeding in stages

Sectional feeding is also a major measure, it is necessary to do a good job in strengthening the stomach of pigs. During the pregnancy of sows, the feed is generally green feeding and rough feeding, and about two jin of concentrate feeding is enough every day. A month before the pig is prenatal, it should be properly fed. Because pigs have to gain about 40% of their weight in the first three months and about 60% in the fourth month. For piglets, it is necessary to do a good job of deworming and strengthening the stomach, and parasites will have a very serious impact on the growth and development of piglets. Doing a good job of deworming can not only effectively gain weight, but also save feed.

4. Pay attention to epidemic prevention

In addition, we should also pay attention to do a good job of epidemic prevention and grasp the time for pigs to go out of the fence. Usually in the annual spring and autumn season, the vaccine should be vaccinated strictly according to the procedure. For classical swine fever, swine erysipelas and other infectious diseases can play an effective prevention and treatment effect. It can reduce the death rate of pigs, so it can also avoid excessive feed consumption. In the process of fattening pigs weighing 40-180 jin, its speed rises in a straight line. If it exceeds 200 jin, the growth rate will slow down, so we should pay attention to the hurdle as soon as possible.
